Crimes of The Heart

"Crimes of The Heart" Yes another Immortal Technique song. (Off his latest "THE 3RD WORLD" In stores now".

On some serious shit I relate to alot of his music, as the rest of the world does. I wrote a blog before of songs that helped me get over my ex, but here's one I've been meaning to put up.

Getting over someone isn't easy and I thought I would never, still wondering if I can truely 100% get over this person. It's been over for a long time but feelings haven't ended that easy or I should say the hurt, it's gotten easier though. still waiting for the gauge in my heart and soul to reach the full 100% mark.


I put all of the lrycis but the ones in bold and italics is what I relate to the most.

Yea I turned 21 in prison locked up at night
Now I walk around free seems like another life
Another roll with some other dice
Another ho or a loving wife
People come and go some really you never know
Intellectual midgets that really never grow
Fake love that holds on like"can I hold you though?"
And old friends will look at you like "yo, yea I told you so"
A toast to the broken hearted
Who never finished what they fuckin started
People who go out and try to be a rebel at night
Try to make up for the fact that they settled in life
It's like a fight between the devil & Christ over the limelight
Spiritual celebrity poker
But the whole deck is full of jokers
And every year that you get older
The stakes get higher
Gambling with a bunch of fakes and liars
Real talk 'cause the real New York
Is the pain and the suffering of lost love
Staring off into the distance in the midst of the club
Depression and emptiness that lead to suicide
And the struggle inside of yourself that keeps you alive
Survived and medicated stalked by sobriety
The life that you live now tortured by memories violently
I pray inside of me that one day you could be forgiven
For murdering the beautiful world we used to live in




Love...doesn't need a complicated metaphor
And sometimes nothing needs to be said at all
Sometimes a person you with is not your one and only
And you just fuck with them because you afraid to be lonely
And when you come back its too late
So you overcompensate
Like victims of rape
Full of self hate

Lost in the affection to strangers around you

Instead of the only person that ever gave a fuck about you
Thought you were happy so you didn't come check me
But then when *she cheated or treated you incorrectly
You conveniently realized you could never forget me
And tried to crawl back in my life unexpectedly

These are my indictments
Of those who claim to be righteous
And leave a trail of broken hearts on their way to enlightenment
But I cant give into hatred or pass judgment
Even towards every illusion I've been in love with
'cause the heart that betrays itself willingly
Is like a nation that trades freedom for stability

Its so seductive to be cold and corrupted and isolated and try to be an independent republic
But liberty to be loved on the surface is worthless
The sacrifice of revolution with no purpose
Take it from a criminal searching for his redemption
Cursing at God desperately trying to get his attention
